Title: Variable speed control for a hand-held electric power tool
Inventor: HANSEN JAMES EDWARD
IPC: H02P25/14
Filed: 1995-05-19
Abstract: A power tool (20, 50) has a variable speed control circuit (24, 54) that comprises a user operable switch (25, 55), a motor (22, 52) and a thyristor (26, 56) connected in series between a pair of power supply terminals (47, 48). A manually variable resistor (36, 66) is connected between a first electrode (27, 57) of the thyristor (26, 56) and a circuit node (40, 70). A capacitor (42, 72) is coupled between the circuit node (40, 70) and the second thyristor electrode (28, 58). A bleed-off resistor (32, 62) is between second thyristor electrode (28, 58) and the circuit node (40, 70) to provide a path for discharging the capacitor (42, 72) when the user operable switch (25, 55) is open. A semiconductor trigger device (44, 74), such as a diac or silicon trigger switch, couples the circuit node (40, 70) to the thyristor gate electrode (29, 59). The circuit operation ensures that the capacitor (42, 72) charges from substantially the same voltage level at the start of each half-cycle during which the thyristor (26, 56) is to be turned on.

IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 1995-11-07
Abstract: A method and system for manipulating and mixing previously stored motion units for computer articulated-figure animation. The motion units are combined in a weighted average. The weights give a priority to certain joint rotations of a motion unit which constitute the essence of that motion unit. The motion units can be mixed in an asynchronous fashion, with no limit on the number of motion units that can be mixed together. Phrasing control assigns a weight to each frame in a motion unit, and helps to ease the transitions at the beginning and end of a motion unit. Frame-to-frame smoothing is also used. Fatigue of an articulated-figure can be simulated by the addition of a "tired" motion unit.

IPC: H04N1/405

Abstract: A gray balance correction technique eliminates artifacts, caused by the accumulation of diffusion errors, from a predominantly "gray" tonal area of a halftone image. According to the technique, pixel tonal values associated with three input colors are initially examined to detect a condition that specifies production of a gray image area. Upon detecting this condition, errors from previously processed pixels are averaged prior to being "diffused" among these input color pixels. Thereafter, the input pixels are processed in accordance with conventional halftoning operations and the resulting binary pixels values are passed to an output buffer for printing. Averaging of the errors prior to error diffusion ensures that the detected condition is maintained through preprocessing of those input color pixel values.

Abstract: In a clinical linear accelerator system for delivering charged particles for medical applications, a series of monolithic cavity-defining members (40, 64, 66, 68, 70) is connected to form a succession of accelerating cavities (72, 74, 78) with temperature regulation being achieved by aligning internal cooling passageways (42, 44, 46, 48) through the series of monolithic members. As a result, a continuous coolant flow path is formed through the monolithic members. At each member-to-member interface, there is a leakage-release path (94) for non-intrusively conducting any leakage that occurs at the interface. In the preferred embodiment, there is a braze connection (92) that separates the leakage-release path at an interface from the coolant flow path at that interface. The braze connection provides a seal that further safeguards against coolant entering an area in which performance of the system is affected.
